A previous paper (Chance, '43) gave data on the kinetics of the enzyme-substrate compound of peroxidhse. This pnper reports direct studies of the effect of cyanide on the action of this intermediate compound and on the rate of the overall reaction. The equilibrium constant for peroxidase-cyanide has been determined from direct spectroscopic measurements of the enzyme-inhibitor conipound and from studies of the extent of inhibition of the enzymatic activity. Measurements on the kinetics of the peroxidase-cyanide arid peroxidase hydrogen peroxide coniponds tell the conditions under which the inhibition is competitive or non-competitive due to negligible or complete equilibration of the system. The competitive inhibition of the overall reaction can be quantitatively explained by the Michaelis Theory modified to account for the inhibitor. A preliminary account was given earlier (Chance, '41).

## Abstract If the chemical rate constants of the initial reaction steps are large, any observed value of these constants may be affected by the mixing process. To investigate the effect of mixing efficiency on reaction kinetics we use two previously analyzed reaction systems, namely the glutamic a
The effect of MnZ+, a divalent metal, on the enzyme K+-p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K+-PNPPase) was studied in rat brain. The metal was found to be a moderate inhibitor of the enzyme, with an Is0 of approximately 4 8 0 ~~. The inhibition was pH dependent, but not temperature dependent. On measurement
Evidence is presented to show that the presence of a channelled reaction branch in a coupled two-enzyme reaction leads to a slower overall relaxation of the system towards steady state following perturbations of the reaction conditions. A predominant part of the total reaction flux change resulting
